“The enemy makes a swing assault on the edge position (and makes significant progress), and from a parallel landing, makes a fire shaft to prevent our reserves from approaching and the fighters on the ground from effectively resisting. And under this cover, he sends new assault groups.

My task was to prevent them from making this shaft of fire - to pile up the enemy's firepower in their direction, to draw fire on ourselves so that ours could pass. And it was a great opportunity to do it from a closed position, it was safer. And the stormtroopers will not break so hard if they hear a machine gun working somewhere in their direction

In the video, you can hear the bright, tympanic sounds of gunfire. This is the sound of shots fired in your direction, but if the sound is more bass and dull, they are not shooting at you.
There were a couple of moments when bullets ricocheted off the parapet
All this action with shooting has a psychological effect - no one will be confident to do anything when they realise that they are being shot at and bullets are falling nearby. It works both ways, and the machine gun creates this effect well

They couldn't clearly understand where I was, but I started to bother them, so they complained to the boot, which started combing the landing.
We had access to real-time radio intercepts and heard them defaming us specifically, and the effect was felt quite quickly. I had the impression that they had some voice actors sitting there, they were communicating so emotionally. At one point, their commander got angry because someone had stopped shooting at them, but that was exactly what we needed.

A blunder with a belt is a disgrace that could have cost lives. You stick your head out, pull the trigger and it says "fuck you". Yes, in a stressful situation, I confused which side to insert the belt. Weapons are made as simple as possible for a reason, so that any moron can use them, and even here you can make a mistake.
It is not for nothing that I say you should master all the weapons around you, because the day will surely come when you will have to use them”
